Although... since I was instructed to stop reading the Reggie Miller thread ( ), I can't really comment on that.

I'll vote for the Eddie Gill bandwagon by default. We should do a better job of nominating for this category. I'd like to think of this thread/ award as a centerpiece where we could send new people to see the quality of PD. This list just doesn't seem to capture it, IMO.

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

First three on that list are ridiculous. I've tried to participate in silly threads and always lose interest. I just don't come here for that kind of thing. The basketball threads are what PD is known for.

I guess I'm no fun.

Reggie Miller thread got my vote.

Agree that the first 3 are terrible nominees

I think you choose between a tribute thread and a real discussion thread that had some bickering, good debate, foolish points, etc. And those were just my contributions.

Re: 2006 PD Forum Awards -- Thread of the Year

I think the problem is that, over the course of a year, a lot of good threads tend to be forgotten. Plus, they can be a pain to find. Those are the reasons I didn't nominate any, anyway.

Too bad we don't use the rating system more often, that would be a good way to find memorable threads. Something another forum I used to frequent did was kept a forum where excellent threads were placed after they ran their duration, as a sort of archival thing - maybe that's a possibility.

Re: 2006 PD Forum Awards -- Thread of the Year

When I searched for nominees, I searched for threads with the most replies or views and picked the ones I liked. But it wasn't worth it to sort through all of Peck's great Odd Thoughts threads.

I just wonder if we should've tried to limit this category to one non-basketball thread.

Re: 2006 PD Forum Awards -- Thread of the Year

I nominated the "It's Official: Artest for Peja" thread. Guess it didn't make the list, but IMO, it was the best of the whole year; not because of good discussion, not because of humor, none of that - simply the fact that Artest was finally gone and that headache was relieved.

Re: 2006 PD Forum Awards -- Thread of the Year

I only read the last thread. The first two I didn't read because they didn't appear to be basketball threads. Wanting Eddie Gill to start appeared silly to me, so I didn't read it. The Reggie Miller thread didn't interest me because he's retired. Hence I only read Pecks thread.

Under the circumstances I chose not to vote. Now if it would have been a close vote I would have forced myself to read them.
